With only a few hours left in June, you can still turn $1 into $2 in support of Renison students, in memory of the late Dr. Darrol Bryant.

Thanks to a generous donor, each donation made in Darrol’s name before midnight will be matched to a maximum of $2,000

Renison is proud to take part in Wear and Share Wednesday for the #MooseHideCampaign! 🧑

Today, we wear the moose hide pin to stand in solidarity against gender-based violence and support healing and reconciliation.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples' Day. We celebrate Indigenous community members.

Let's reflect on the ways we participate in reconciliationβ€”from taking part in the Moose Hide Campaign Day, to walking alongside our UW community for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Earlier this year, Renison lost a dear friend and colleague, Dr. Darrol Bryant.

For the rest of June, a generous donor has agreed to match donations in honour of Darrol Bryant up to $2000. Each gift not only memorializes Darrol but continues to support his life’s work.
